cadillac radio unlock code

[12Gage]

I just bought a used 99 DeVille from a dealer. The stock radio for it had been removed so they put in a stock radio from a 98 DeVille. It says locked on it. Anyone know how to unlock it?

try this


1. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 5 to 10 seconds until you
get 3 digits on your display. This is the first 3 of 6 digits you will
need, so write 'em down.

2. After doing step one and writing down the code, immediately press the
AM/FM button to get the last 3 of the 6 numbers you'll need, and write
'em down. (if you wait too long between steps 1 and 2 and the LOC code
displays again, just start over).

3. Call this number, it's a prerecorded message, so don't worry about
having to talk to anyone...1-800-537-5140. The voice will ask if you're
calling for Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc... When you here,
press 1, followed by 02107 and hit the # key. He'll ask you
for the 6 digit code that you've written down. Enter that and press the
* key. He will then give you a code, and the option to get additional 4
digit codes, but one should be sufficient.

4. Follow the normal procedure in your owners manual for unlocking the
radio with your new code...press the hour set button on your radio until
you get the first two numbers of the code, then press the minute set
button until you've entered the last two numbers. Immediately press the
AM/FM button once the correct code is entered and the code SEC or
"secured" will be displayed on the display screen. Now, just turn the
radio on, and your ready to roll.

you gotta get that shit from the dealer. bottom line. did you buy it at a used dealership? they wont know. you need to go to a caddy dealership. most wont tell you over the phone, they make you go up there and show proof of ownership and all that bullshit. problem is, they are probably just gonna give you the code for the radio that came in the car. they do it by vin, so if your radio isnt tied to the same vin i dont think its gonna work. maybe try explaining it to them and see if they can do something good luck brother

yeah i bought it from a used car dealer, but not a cadillac dealership. i took out the radio and it has the original vin on it.
i called the cadillac dealership. they said i need to bring for them to get the code to unlock it. im sure they will charge too much. i might as well just throw in a new headunit.
